Hi Girls! This is my first real post and I just want to say I really love this website!

I have bought my wedding dress and just went for my first dress fitting with my seamstress. I don’t have a picture of my wedding dress but it is a strapless dress with a corset top and has a dropped waist. Now I often wear strapless dresses but for my wedding dress I wanted to be a little different. I find here in Australia there are a lot of strapless wedding dresses but not many wedding dresses with sleeves.

I was talking to my seamstress and she said I have plenty of options of adding sleeves/straps and I was wondering if any of you have had sleeves added to your dress. I would love to hear your ideas and any pictures if possible.

The Dress looks a little like this except in ivory and on the bodice there is very simple clear beading to add a bit of detail.

And it is very, very similar to this except the bottom of the dress has a layer that sweeps to the left and has a little diamante buckle for a little added detail on the side near my hip. It is quite a simple dress which has detail but not over the top. Does that make sense?
